Many studies of the book of Ruth focus solely on Ruth’s commitment to Naomi. While this is an important lesson of great love, of which we should take note, there is a much larger element to this account.
Indeed, it is not just a story about Naomi and one about Ruth. For us, it is a type and shadow of our need for a Redeemer. It is about One who makes a long-term commitment to His BELOVED.
It is about Jesus, our GOEL, our Kinsman Redeemer!
